Alexander Bay Airport (IATA: ALJ, ICAO: FAAB) is an airport serving Alexander Bay (Namakwa District Municipality), a town in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. The airport was closed in 2007, and locals in Alexander Bay usually use Oranjemund Airport instead, which is just across the border in Namibia, located about 18 km (11 mi) away. The airport is occasionally used for private or specific charter aviation.
